The sounds of joy and celebration were heard in Alton town centre as a new hearing clinic was officially launched.

Bosses at Alton Hearing Care sounded out the 84 High Street premises as the firm had outgrown its previous home a few doors down.

So there was excitement last Tuesday (October 22) when owner Terry Fuller cut the ribbon to the new larger clinic opposite the M&S Food Hall.

He said: “We had outgrown our previous premises but now, with the extra capacity, we can offer an even better hearing care service to the people of Alton.”

The launch event certainly grabbed the attention of shoppers and it was a busy day with many discussing their hearing and ear-related issues with the team.

Alton Hearing Care offers advice and a range of services relating to hearing aids, wax removal and hearing protection, call 01480 481760, or visit www. Altonhearingcare.co.uk for more.
